Interesting. It makes me think of the idea of fighting piracy by providing a solid legal alternative through streaming platforms, etc.

Looking at him I can't believe he's 100. I haven't seen that many centenaries that look that fit.

Exactly. Glad to see someone else articulate this so clearly.

I think TUIs have started to become popular again a few years ago, before Claude Code was released?

I can totally relate. I often listen to instrumental music while I work. Lately I've listened to music with lyrics and I have a slightly harder time reading, writing and thinking. Not being a native English speaker and not understanding everything helps though.

Seeing these constructs in a text is not just a vague hint that it was AI-generated. It's a smoking gun.
